Yeah I added my Rakuten Mastercard too and it went through. I wonder when they started offering it. Now I can stop using iD on my dCard. I can't say anything about their mastercard, as I only recently got it for some free points, but I've been using quikpay with my rakuten visa card for as long as ...

What's annoying is that I use Rakuten as my main card and it doesn't support either iD or Quikpay but Rakuten Edy and its not like iD where it automatically charges the card but you have to load it with money so its quite inconvenient. So I just link iD on my secondary card and I lose out on Rakute...

thanks-but what if its in joint names? In my case the bill is addressed only to me although my wife is a joint owner (50%) in our home. Not sure why. Maybe because my name appears first in list of registration. Or could be because I am the household head. Yeah, same here, jointly owned but addresse...

I'm with Ben. They are giving you a huge lead time for when they want you to move out, and you are planning to move anyway, don't try and squeeze money from them. Sure it's an option available to you, but morally, I'd say it's a low move.

Honestly, I don't know what recourse you have as our credit reports came up fine, and it was just that rakuten didn't want to lend to me is my guess, so we never had to pursue anything.

Gaica pre-paid card might be good for you. It's easy to top up with a shinsei account, and they will only have the funds you load onto it available. You can change the currency on the card, which will cost fees when loading, or preload with yen and get charged a fee when withdrawing in a different c...

I've not used the giaca as a debit card, but used it as an ATM card when abroad in Europe. You can easily top up in seconds from anywhere just by accessing the gaica website. If you top up in yen, there is no charge for topping up, or withdrawing the money back to your shinsei account later. Doing a...

I am a little confused about the replies referring to Moneytree. While I looked at the software, I found no reference that it would allow me to connect to my Japanese banks or Japanese credit cards. Am I missing something in their webpage. Can someone point me to the site where this information is ...
